‘I was walking through the woods and swept back a branch. I saw a scene before me of a frozen waterfall and rocks as if it had frozen in time. It took up the entire area yet it seemed small and was breathtakingly beautiful. I gasped and the branch swung back into place. When I brushed it away again the scene had disappeared.’ ‘While the scene took up the entire space before me, it was also very small. My impression was that the area was full of fairies that I could not see because my eyes saw a different kind of time that appeared frozen.’ ‘It resonates with me that [fairies] are fallen angels.’
